offseason 2023 if Dubas stays
Nice tidy work here, I wouldn't be shocked if Dubas tried to move some cap such as Murray in order to keep Bunting.
I also don't think Robertson will be playing second line mins, would be shocked if they keep him around for next season. Likely a trade chip IMO

I've always hated this explanation. They can just wait 1-3 years. Like, my guy, he's not going to just the Canes. There are 31 other teams that would be bidding on him.

Settle Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jslongo</b></div><div>So youd wanna wait 3 more years to trade Hayes? when his value will be at his lowest?
Everyone on this site (including me) thinks they know exactly what a player is going to go for. Its hilarious to try and argue the exact value.</div></div>
Why would the Flyers want to trade him? That's the better question. Hayes just got his first all-star appearance and has 48 points in 60 games. He's a locker room guy and everyone on the teams loves him. He realistically could even be the next captain for the Flyers. I don't think the Flyers are even considering moving him, their entire focus should be fixing that horrendous defence.
I am not saying I also know Hayes exact value, but in the history of the NHL, no team has ever retained that much money for that long. Most money that I can personally think of over more than a year was Kessel when the Leafs retained 1.2 million for 4 years. In that deal, Leafs got a first and a former first rounder from the previous year in Kapanen. Pretty much two 1st rounders for Kessel and 1.2 million in retained salary for 4 years.
Asking for nearly triple the salary retention for less value than the Kessel deal makes no sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jslongo</b></div><div>Theres not gonna make the playoffs in that time frame so why not?</div></div>
They would be paying 14 million dollars to get a low end 1st rounder who likely wouldn't be an impact player like Hayes currently is. Most teams when taking a bad contract (look at Arizona with Ricthe or Chicago with Zaitsev) get a 2nd rounder for a bad player with one year remaining. So getting a good second line center for 4 years while retaining 3.5 million for a low 1st and some small pieces is a joke of a return.

Lines come playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs09</b></div><div>I like these Lines upfront.
If there was a way to add on D would be ideal too, so if that is giving up Engvall, Kerfoot or Holl with prospect would be nice.
Then move Ashton Reese Back in.
Also switch Bunting and Jarnock</div></div>
I also like the idea of adding on the back end however I don't know if we have enough draft capital to get anyone to make us drastically better.
Bunting and Jar should be switched, no idea how that even happened. Thanks for pointing it out haha

Lines come playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rage44</b></div><div>I'd like preface this by saying I like Kerfoot, and Jarnkrok. BUT, I will do anything I can to keep them both out of the top 6 comes playoffs.
Whether that means JT stays on the wing w/ ROR & Marner, or if Knies is pleasantly a fit #2 LW- that remains to be seen. But good playoff teams have good (to great), contributing bottom 6 lines, and that's the best fit for Kerfoot & Jarnkrok (and Engvall).
AM, ROR/JT, Kampf, Acciari is a very strong 1-4 C lineup, with defined roles.
As for D, I would be concerned with Sandin & Liljegren as a pairing over a 7 game series against TB (or otherwise). They have looked great when times are good, but when Sandin feels constant pressure, he makes some very questionable choices on his zone exits. He might make the pass, but he's handcuffed his outlet into a bad situation.
Without adding to the roster, I think you roll with Holl, unless he falls apart in the first 2 games of the series. I like Timmins, but no guarantee he can handle the added pressure and elevate his game.</div></div>
Totally understand you wanting to keep kerfoot and Jarnkrok in the bottom part of the line up. But for that reason is why I like O'Reilly on the third line is suddenly you have three scoring lines and one shut down 4th line. I feel like a line such as Jarn Kerfoot and Engvall is a great third line but doesn't score very much which is how we lost last season. Tampa and Toronto's top lines cancelled each other out and it was Tampa's bottom 6 that won them the series. That's why I like the idea of O'Reilly on the third line with Knies, three big scoring lines.
As for your defence comments, I agree much more. Sandin has looked great but under pressure he does struggle. I would keep both of them on the third pair to avoid being caved in by other teams top lines.
Would you add or who would you add to help the D? There isn't a lot out there that we can currently afford sadly.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laquille</b></div><div>I would swap kerfoot and Engvall. I think Knies would benefit more from playing with Kerfoot, as Engvall is really not a playmaker. He seems to be playing well with Kampf in a shut down role with some offensive flashes.
However, I believe Dubas is not done and will add a top 9 right winger (I would personally hope for Puljujarvi), bringing engvall on the left wing 4th line.</div></div>
You would want another top 9 guy with Knies coming in? I think hes the add everyone is talking about tbh. Young, entry level deal, can score and hit. I worry that we already have enough solid shut down guys that we wouldn't need someone like Puljujarvi and getting him would remove some of the depth scoring we need.

Totally fair to assume Knies would have to come back. Wilson has that weird high end value that not a lot of players in the NHL have (Scoring, psychically dominate and will fight)

No team is going to take on 2 million in cap for the following 7 years for a 2nd round and fourth round pick. Arizona would want massive value back and even then, I don't think they would do it.
The idea of Weegar on the back end for Ottawa would vastly improve their D core though.

Totally agree, think he would fit in great in Arizona tbh
